Savor your next cup of Joe from one of four (4) 12-ounce bags of assorted blends from Antifascist Coffee!

They take pride in their coffee and in the work they do to support people, animals, and our environment. Their coffee is roasted in Portland, Oregon by a Q-grade certified Roast Master who crafts each batch to perfection, ensuring a rich and flavorful experience with every sip. By prioritizing quality, they strive to offer you an exceptional cup of coffee that you can enjoy while knowing that you are supporting a brand that shares your antifascist values.

About Antifascist Coffee

OUR STORY: Founded in 2023, Antifascist Coffee was born out of a desire to combine our love for exceptional coffee with our commitment to antifascist values. Watching events unfold during the last several years has been sobering. The rise in fascist ideologies in the U.S. and throughout the world; the use of doublespeak in an attempt to convince folks that antifascists are the bad guys (what?!); the glorification of guns and mass murders; racist, sexist, and classist legislation… We could go on, but we think you get the picture. Seeing brands using hate to sell products made us yearn for an alternative and we were confident we weren't alone. We believe that the simple act of enjoying a cup of coffee and engaging in conversation with someone you just met can help create connections, build bridges, and knock down walls. With all of this in mind, we set out to create a brand that not only satisfies your coffee cravings, but also stands firmly against oppression, discrimination, and hatred. Standing up for people, animals, and our environment shouldn't be political, just logical.

OUR ANTIFACIST COMMITMENT: At Antifascist Coffee, we oppose all forms of discrimination and oppression and actively support organizations and initiatives that champion equality, equity, justice, and love. A portion of our proceeds are donated to organizations fostering positive change in our communities. When you choose Antifascist Coffee, you're not just getting great coffee; you're supporting organizations that uphold your values. Our inaugural donations will be made to The Trevor Project, whose mission is to end suicide among LGBTQ young people through crisis services, advocacy, research, and public education; Project Street Vet, a nonprofit charity that provides free veterinary care and support to the pets of people experiencing homelessness and housing vulnerability; and Planned Parenthood Action Fund, where they work to advance access to sexual healthcare and defend reproductive rights.

Stay connected with us on social media to learn more about our latest news and updates. Together, we can enjoy great coffee and work towards a world where equality, equity, justice, and love prevail.

Thank you for joining us. We are antifascists and we love you.

About PATRICK CUPID

Designed responsibly from start to finish.

In our effort to promote responsible consumption, each season is designed relative to the last, allowing a wardrobe to be built over time piece by piece. As a palette of color opens and develops, shifting from summer into fall encompassing seasonal prints, shapes, and silhouettes evolve too establish themselves in harmony with their predecessors, and can be layered or paired together, bridging several collections.

This design ethos is combined with the sourcing of biodegradable and recyclable material, as locally as possible. In furthering this effort, we do not refrain from re-purposing fabrics of previous seasons; as the brand, Patrick Cupid underlays its entire philosophy with a positive drive to sustain the planet. We endeavor to minimize our environmental impact by creating less waste.

HWIS Connection

The friendship between Petia Abdur-Razzaaq (HWIS Parent, Mandarin Grade 4) and Patrick Cupid began over 20 years ago in the most unexpected setting. Petia was hired to handle marketing for what would turn out to be a very shady real estate operation, while Patrick worked in a hidden room behind the scenes, sewing pieces for the owner's emerging fashion line.

Despite working in different parts of the building, their paths crossed one day in the hallways, sparking a conversation that soon blossomed into a lasting friendship. Over the years, their connection has only grown stronger, and today, the mutual compassion and generosity that bonds them extends to HudsonWay, proving that sometimes, the best friendships grow from the most unlikely of encounters.
